Thor: Ragnarok almost featured an amazing flashback scene that would have shown Thor and Loki in a very different light.

Talking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast (via ComicBook.com), director Taika Waititi revealed a Goonies-style sequence that he originally hoped would make it into the new Marvel movie, and might still feature in a possible Thor 4.

"I wanted to do some flashbacks where Thor was a kid, a fat little kid. There was like an '80s version of Asgard where everyone had massive shoulder pads and everyone had mullets," he explained.

"Our idea was Thor and Valkyrie meet and he's like, 'Hey, I know you' and she's like, 'Ha, I remember you' and then it cuts back to this thing and he's just this pudgy little kid walking around with a mullet and being picked on by other kids.

"And Loki's like this little emo goth hanging out by himself. He was like the kid in Harry Potter [Malfoy]."

"It was so quick that you would have the same complaints that you have now," he noted. "He was in it a little bit more and it just didn't do justice. And the feeling is, if you can't do it justice, do it later."
